New footage shows WWE star Jimmy Uso calling cop "an a**hole" during DUI arrest; details on what he had to do afterward
New details have emerged about WWE Superstar Jimmy Uso's arrest last July. The current SmackDown Tag Team Champion was captured on video calling the arresting officer "an a**hole" after taking issue with something he had said.
Jimmy (real name Jonathan Fatu) was arrested on July 6th due to failing field sobriety and breathalyzer tests. He was also accused of over-speeding and breaking the traffic signal before getting sparked by a comment from the cop. According to police records, Jimmy consumed loads of beers before driving.
TMZ Sports released a video of Jimmy Uso’s interaction with the Pensacola Police Dept. officer. Before he was taken for the sobriety test, the officer allegedly wished him luck in dodging it this time, referring to his arrest in 2019. The comment apparently triggered Uso, and he called the officer "an a**hole."
The Samoan was arrested on a misdemeanor DUI charge, and his bond was set at $500. According to Jail Records, he was released the following day. Jimmy was required to complete several courses related to the incident. According to a source close to him, the WWE star recently completed his classes for the same.
